I know in the book that February’s main focus was on Marriage ~ Giving Proofs of Love to your spouse. And while I love that and continue to make the Captain my main focus, I’m also implementing the same effort into other people {and animals} in my life. 1. The Way to a Man’s Heart is Through His Stomach *Really, the way to anyone’s heart I’d say! 😉 One of the biggest ways that I give proofs of…

{My} Happiness Project ~ Secrets of Adulthood #thesearethedays #happinessproject
Okay, so I have my list of 12 Commandments – the rules to remember while I work to achieve each month’s resolutions. Next I wanted to list my Secrets of Adulthood. Once again, I liked Gretchen’s list, but for obvious reasons didn’t copy it. {ie. plagerizing her book is not only illegal, but also isn’t going to help me in this process}.
